I have ADHD/executive dysfunction/autism or something that makes it difficult for me to operate in my daily life, like keeping things clean/errands. Also I like being on the computer a *lot*, and fucking off on adventures. Has anybody like me had kids and not regretted it?

You are at least currently making a lot of money. Could you afford to hire part time help or something to help ease the burden? Spend money to help outsource some of the stuff you suck at

Yeah, that's the idea. I would only really have kids if I could patch up a lot of my own brain function problems with money.

Ideally speaking you’d have a partner to help you with the burden as well. Keep in mind something like 90% of the population has kids at some point, and a considerable number of them have to scrape by in poverty. You’ll manage, even if it’s hard.
